The late Sedgwick Democratic county
convention adopted the following reso-
lutiOnS:
Resolved, That we denounce the &C
ton of the Republican legislature OF
Kansas in usurping the power of gov
eminent of the county of Sedgwick:
that the appointment of an assistant
attorney general for Sedgwick county
and metropolitan police in the city OF
Wichita is un-American and un-Demo-
cratic and unjust.
RESOLVED, That the people Of Sedg.
wick county feel that they are capable
of controlling their own affairs and that
the appointment of an assistant attor-
ney general who will make a fortune at
the expense of the taxpayers of Sedg-
wick county from his prosecutions of vi
olators of an unjust law is an imposi-
ton of an order to which the people of
Sedgwick will not submit, and we most
cordially invite our fellow citizens, Of
whatever party, to join with US in car
rying out the principles and policy we
hereby announce and to the advocacy
of which we pledge ourselves until the
right shall prevail.

Treasury and Stringency.

A clamor has been raised that the
treasury is locking up the money needed
for business purposes, and that by its
action it has been threatening the pros
perity of the country. The action
taken by the head of the treasury de-
partment, acting under the instructions
of President Cleveland, shows clearly
enough what the disposition of the ad-
ministration is. 1t does not propose to
retain any more of the circulating
medium of the country in the treasury
vaults than is necessary and is prepared,
as fast as money comes in, to pay it out
in purchase of government bonds at the
price of these-for the offer already
made is, as we have said, probably but
the first of series.-Boston Herald.

The visit of the President of the
United States to Philadelphia revealed
to those of his fellow citizens with
whom he was brought into personal
contact a different man from the one
they knew from representation. The
portraits CT him with which they were
familiar, whether drawn by pen or pen
Gil, did not denote him truly. There
are fine, noble lines of intellectually
and feeling in his face which the por-
traits have not given; he has character
istics of the head and heart which have
not been shown by the portraits. After
seeing this mentally strong, bright man,
it is folly to talk of his having achieved
his present high position by mere acct
dent, chance or luck. He achieved it
by the possession and use of remark
able abilities, and his thought, speech,
manner appearance all go to prove it.
His popularity in Philadelphia today is
a thousand times greater than it was a
week ago. His praises are in the
mouths Of those of wisest censure. and
those opposed to him politically, whose
respect and confidence he has won dur
ing his brief visit here by the fine dig
nifty and courtesy of his manner, his
strong, ibrous intelligence, his evident
sincerity of purpose and patriotic spirit.
In view of his personal popularity it
will be well for those who are to select
a leader to oppose him in the presiden-
tial campaign to make no mistake.
They should understand, what is to
those who have seen Mr.. Cleveland the
most obvious truth, that he will be a
candidate hard to beat. 1t will be best
to recognize this fact early, so that OPP
portunity may be taken advantage of
TO shrewdly select his Republican oppo-
nent. To be forewarned in this case is
TO be Philadelphia ERqd.

1t is good thing when people have
moderate ambitions, because then they
are not so likely to be disappointed.
Our Consul General at Athens reports
that the Greeks have got an idea that
all they have to do is to come to Amer
lea to gain fortune, and that they are
flocking here in large numbers in spite
of everything their government can do.
These immigrants, however, have a
rather moderate idea of a fortune, so
that there are not so many of them dis
appointed as might be expected. When
they accumulate $4,000 in this country,
they return to their homes, place the
money at usury and live in luxury ever
after.
